Mochi lets you place a tiny animated cat companion directly on your browser tabs, like a little friend hanging out while you browse. Pick from 20 local cat styles, drag Mochi anywhere, and keep the same cat in the same spot across tabs. It’s intentionally small and quiet, not a productivity tool, tracker, or notification machine. No accounts, analytics, ads, or remote data. Just a little cat for your tabs :3
What's great
Installed it mostly out of curiosity and it's stayed on out of actual fondness, which wasn't what I expected from a "cat on your tab" extension. It picked a personality and just sits there quietly, no popups, no "upgrade to premium" nag, nothing phoning home. Good palette of styles too, didn't expect that much variety from something this small.
What needs improvement
Only 20 styles right now and no way to import a custom sprite, so if none of the built-in cats click with you there's not much you can do about it. A community sprite pack would go a long way.
vs Alternatives
MetaPalsMetaPals leans into being a whole virtual companion with more going on. Mochi is the opposite pitch - it doesn't try to be a companion app, it's just a small drawing sitting on a tab that doesn't ask anything of you, which is honestly what I wanted.

Mochi
Thank you so much for the thoughtful review, Gal! I’m really happy that Mochi’s small and quiet nature came through. That was exactly the kind of experience I wanted to create.
You’re also right about customization. Being able to import custom sprites, or eventually have a community sprite pack, would be a really fun addition. I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future updates. Thanks again for trying Mochi and sharing such helpful feedback!
